Police have arrested Shanterrica Madden, an 18-year-old freshman at MTSU, in connection with the stabbing death of Lady Raider basketball player Tina Stewart. Madden is charged with first-degree murder and has been transported to Rutherford County Jail.

Evans said Stewart suffered multiple traumatic wounds. An autopsy will be performed, he said, and investigators are still interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence at Raiders Crossing Apartments to determine what happened.

Stewart, 21, of Memphis, a junior, died as a result of wounds sustained in the attack. She was transported to Middle Tennessee Medical Center, but did not survive her injuries.

There are varying reports about what the argument was about (early speculation is that Stewart confronted Madden about her smoking weed in the apartment, but that isn’t confirmed), but what we do know is that it wasn’t worth anyone losing their life over.

Two young woman who had their entire future in front of them, destroyed by an impulsive and emotional reaction to something in the grand scheme was trivial.

Because Miss Madden could not keep her emotions in check, Tina Stewart is dead and it is unlikely that Madden will be seeing the outside of jail for a long time.
